Estimate a delivery window from stated working-day terms
Choose the correct starting event
The form starts from the date you enter and adds handling plus transit time in business days. If the parcel has already been dispatched and handling is complete, set handling to zero; otherwise that stage would be counted twice. The starting date itself is day zero.
How the window is built
Earliest delivery adds handling plus minimum transit. Latest delivery adds handling plus maximum transit. Both skip Saturdays, Sundays and country-wide holidays from the chosen source calendar. Enter handling from 0 to 60 days and transit from 0 to 365 days; the maximum must not be below the minimum.
Presets are scenarios
A preset fills illustrative transit values. It is not a live carrier quote, tracking feed or service commitment. Replace those values with the quoted terms for the actual shipment, including the correct destination or operating calendar.
What the estimate leaves out
This model does not include dispatch cutoff times, partial days, customs, weather, Saturday services or local depot closures. The displayed range comes from your inputs; it is not a probability interval or a guaranteed arrival date.

Frequently asked questions
Does it track my parcel?
No. There is no tracking number lookup or carrier connection.
Should I add handling after dispatch?
If handling is already complete, enter zero to avoid counting that stage again.
What if the carrier delivers on Saturday?
This form uses Monday to Friday. Check the proposed interval with the main business-days calculator using a Saturday workweek.
